another place to express

so I moved to tumblr.
yes, I’m fickle like that.

well, not exactly move.
I’ll still be here.
just that I need more space.

Visit me! (:

Deaths…

and once again, the news of another person passing on to the nether world reached me today.

this time, it is my Malay teacher from Marsiling Primary.
Cikgu Iswani ):

I was certainly shocked and taken aback at the news.
To me, Cikgu is still young.
but then again, death knows no boundries, age, gender, religion and such.
I was told that Cikgu passed away from cancer of the intestine ):

Cikgu, as I remembered, was a very patient woman.
she would explain things to us carefully and slowly, so that we will understand what is being taught.
she never loses her temper, even though we were a bunch of monkeys.
she was always taking care of me and giving me advices so that I would not stray.
she used to say “Khalisah, saya tahu awak ni budak yang baik. Jangan jadi nakal”.
the last time I saw her was a few years ago.
when I bumped into her at CWP.
I was already in NP and she thought I was still in Sec 3.
I will never forget that day (:
but who would have thought that it would be the last time we’ll be seeing each other? ):

deaths, as I see it, are part and parcel of life.
I used to think that it is cruel, but now I’ve learnt to accept it.
People will pass on when their time on earth is up.
and deaths do not only come to the old people.
it will happen to you when it happens.

Happy 2011!

I decided to make some (achievable) resolutions.

cos I resolved to lose weight year in and out.
but it does not seem to be happening.
I’m either too lazy to work out or ate too much.

so, here goes nothing:
1. be a more filial daughter to my parents
2. be more religious
3. be a more patient person
4. save more money
5. work out harder
6. travel and explore
7. be a rower (again)
8. learn to play the guitar properly

I guess the items on this list seemed easier to be fulfilled than losing weight. just hope I’ll stick with them.

and with that, Happy New Year! :)

Day 1 in Phuket (:

there were some cock-ups in the beginning.
when we reached Phuket International Airport.
but we managed to solve it quickly.
and not-so-panicky! HAHA.

go to check-in earlier into our hotel rooms.
and it was really nice! (:

the funny/cool part about being there:
everywhere we go, people will say ‘assalamualaikum’ to us!
heh.
just cos Zah and Khai donned the tudung.

anyways.
i’ll let the pictures do the talking instead! (:

 

Before we say goodbye to Singapore! (:

Taufiq followed us! hehe.

The awesome food along the streets and at the pasar malam! (:

On our way to Patong Beach from Phuket International Airport!

The sun, sand and sea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

Our super nice hotel room!

 

What I learnt today…

The first step when going for a run or gym is always the hardest. But once you overcome that feeling and go ahead, you know you made the right choice cos you’ll definitely feel better afterwards (:

P is Phuket! :)

went to Phuket for four days.
it was quite a last-minute plan.
had a blast! :)

went with Zah, Rash and Khai.
initial plan was to go KL.
but had to change.
and we decided on Phuket.
damn fast! heh.

there was some cock-ups in the beginning.
but glad everything went well :)

went island-hopping.
phi phi-maya-khai islands on the second day.
james bond island (plus two others) on the next.
love this one loads. cos we get to canoe! :) )

anyways.
will update more later.
feeling tired now. heh.
nights all! :)

School’s out!

so holidays are finally here! (:
and guess what I’m doing of the very first day?
slack at home!

thinking of getting a haircut.
but I felt too tired/lazy to even get into the showers! haha.

so here I am.
lazing in bed.
even though I woke up at 12+ just now.
such a pig, I know.

okay.
I shall attempt to go and shower!
smell you later :)

All I want for x’mas is …

… this LM Longchamp bag!
I fell in love with it the moment I saw it ):

but look at the price…
sigh.

okay.
my birthday present next year maybe?
pretty pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (:

the day I stayed in the hospital

this was the state of my hand on Thursday.
was hospitalised for a day.

what happened, you ask?
well, I’ve been coughing for the longest time ever.
so last weekend, I kept on having high fever.
by high, I meant 39 degrees or more.
went back and forth to the family doctor.
I couldn’t take it anymore when I had fever at 40 degrees on Wednesday night.
decided to be referred to the hospital.

after checks and everything, the doctors decided I shd be hospitalised.
was diagnosed with pneumonia (sigh).
was hooked onto the antibiotics drip for many hours.
plus the glucose water cos I was very dehydrated.

but I’m already home right now.
recuperating well.
cough is almost gone.
no sudden onset of high fever.
appetite is back to normal.

after all I went through, I’m just thankful that I’m given the chance to still be alive.
so that I can make more amends in my life to be a better person.
to atone for all my sins.
and to appreciate my life even more.

and to everyone who offered me the well-wishes and gave me get-well-soon messages, I’m thankful for that.
for I am glad to have you in my life :)

the face says it all. not.

once upon a time, I was told that I looked like a girl from a girl’s school.
when I was in Ncc, they thought I was from Cedar Girls.
and the Cedarians thought I was from RGS.
and the list goes on.

just yesterday, I was conversing with Salleh.
a primary school friend + long-lost family friend.

him: so which Jc did you go to?
me: eeer. no. I went to a poly.
him: really? wow. I thought you went to a Jc. you really looked like a Jc girl.

see what I mean?
I think my face is being ‘stereotyped’.
and really, this is not the first time.
whenever people looked at me, they always have an impression that I went to a good (prestigious, maybe) school.

I’m not saying that it’s a bad thing.
but I’m just wishing that this had all come true.
then maybe, my life would turn out for the better.

but then, seeing how my friends love me now the way just the way I am, I wouldn’t ask for anything more :) )

when God don’t grant your wishes, it doesn’t mean that He loves you less. it just means that He has smth better in store for you :) )
